Direct answers

Frequently asked questions

These answers summarize the seller journey. The posted shipping and transaction terms control.

Why are your offers higher (pay more money) than most others?

Our prices are generally higher due to the significant cost savings of not having to pay all of the costs and fees associated with having multiple retail storefronts, thus we pass that savings on to you in the form of higher payments. We also skip the middle man and thus we can work on slimmer margins by paying you more directly. We also tie our prices directly to real verifiable spot prices, thus you get what the item is worth.

What are spot prices, what does spot prices mean?

When it comes to spot prices, such as the spot price for gold or silver, there is often confusion over how the spot price is determined. Below we outline what spot prices are and where they come from.

What is "Spot" Price?

The spot price is simply the price at which a commodity could be transacted and delivered on right now, as opposed to a futures or forward contract. The spot price of gold refers to the price of one ounce of gold, and the spot price of silver refers to the price of one ounce of silver, both of specific fineness requirements.

What drives changes in spot price?

Gold, silver and other commodity prices are affected by many factors and can move through periods of low or high volatility. Spot gold prices may be influenced by economic data, geopolitical news or events, Federal Reserve action or comments, and other drivers.

Supply and demand for gold, silver and other commodities play out across world markets in a constant state of price discovery, occurring around the clock on exchanges including New York's COMEX, London, Hong Kong, Zurich, Australia and Shanghai. The COMEX exchange is the most well recognized for gold trading, and spot gold prices are derived from futures contracts traded there.

In short, spot simply refers to the price at which one could transact and take delivery now, rather than at some future date.

Why should I use CashforCoins?

Consider CashforCoins.net if you're looking to sell coins, gold or silver and want to get paid high prices based on actual value without being taken advantage of. It's a good fit if it's worth waiting a few days to get the full cash value of your coins, gold or silver. Our prices are generally higher due to the cost savings of not maintaining multiple retail storefronts, which we pass on to you in the form of higher payments. We also skip the middleman, allowing us to work on slimmer margins while paying you more directly, and we tie our prices to real, verifiable spot prices so you get what your items are worth.

Are the offers guaranteed?

Yes, offers you accept are guaranteed as long as: 1) the items received match the description and condition listed in the order, and 2) the items are shipped within 1 business day of accepting the offer (postmarked within 1 business day).

How long does it take to receive payment?

Once items are received and inspected, payment is made within 2 business days of acceptance. Payments are often faster when PayPal is selected.

For counterfeit coins:

  1. Destruction & disposal – we will securely destroy and dispose of counterfeit coins per standard industry practice, or
  2. Return shipping – you may have the items returned by paying for Priority Mail shipping

For common coins (not counterfeit but different than described):

  1. Return shipping – we will return the coins once you cover the shipping cost, or
  2. Face value payment – we can offer payment at the coins' face value
Can I receive an estimate without providing personal information?

Yes. You can view a preliminary estimate for listed common U.S. gold and silver coins without entering personal information. Contact and shipping information is requested only if you choose to continue with a sale or submit a custom appraisal.

Which coins does CashForCoins buy?

CashForCoins lists common U.S. gold and silver coins, bullion, Silver Eagles and other eligible items. Rare, proof, graded, uncirculated and estate collections can be submitted through the custom appraisal path. Review the appraisal page for current exclusions.

How are live coin estimates calculated?

An estimate may consider precious-metal spot prices, weight and purity, coin type, date and mint, condition, professional grading, collector demand and quantity. Rare or graded coins may require individual review because collector value can exceed metal value.

Is an instant estimate guaranteed?

An offer depends on the received items matching the description, quantity, authenticity and condition submitted, as well as compliance with the current acceptance and shipping terms. Read the posted terms before accepting or shipping.

Do you buy inherited collections and estates?

Yes. Owners, heirs and estate representatives can request help identifying and evaluating U.S. coins, gold and silver bullion, rare coins and professionally graded pieces. Photos or an inventory can be submitted for review.

How can I identify an unknown coin?

Photograph the front and back in even light, include any visible date and mint mark, and add a clear photo of any professional grading label. Avoid cleaning the coin because cleaning can permanently reduce collector value.

Is shipping insured?

Shipping assistance and prepaid insured labels may be available for qualifying transactions. Insurance limits, packaging requirements, reimbursement amounts and advance-approval requirements are explained on the current shipping page.

What happens after my coins are inspected?

If the coins match the submitted details, the transaction proceeds under the accepted terms. If the type, quantity, authenticity or condition differs, you should receive a revised offer and the options available under the current policy.

What if I do not accept the verified offer?

If you do not accept the revised offer, all genuine items can and will be shipped back to you at your expense. All counterfeit items will be discarded or sent to law enforcement. Review those terms before mailing your coins. Terms & Conditions

What is the difference between bullion and numismatic value?

Bullion value is driven mainly by precious-metal weight, purity and market price. Numismatic value may also reflect scarcity, date, mint, variety, condition, professional grade and collector demand.

Should I clean my coins before submitting them?

No. Cleaning can scratch or chemically alter a coin and may substantially reduce collector value. Handle coins by their edges and leave surfaces as found. NEVER CLEAN COINS!

Can I find a local coin dealer instead?

Yes. CashForCoins maintains a nationwide dealer directory so sellers can compare local options. Verify any dealer independently, review recent customer feedback and understand the offer before completing a transaction. Nationwide Dealer Directory
